  • SAVINGS - Compared to a traditional ceramic Jikokoa the Jikokoa is 50% faster to light, saves 60% charcoal, and creates 63% less smoke.

100% Made in Kenya
According to tests conducted by Berkeley Air and the University of Nairobi, the Jikokoa reduces PM2.5 emissions by 65% as compared to the ‘improved ceramic jiko.’

In terms of PM2.5 emissions the Jikokoa is ranked as a ISO/IWA Tier 4 stove. This is the highest ranking available and is in the same class as LPG and Natural Gas stoves.

History & Development

Based in Ruiru, Kenya, BURN Manufacturing designs, produces and distributes Kenya’s best selling, most durable and economical charcoal and wood cookstoves that also dramatically reduce harmful smoke emissions which can cause significant health problems, even death.

BURN is the only jiko company which manufactures all of its products in sub-Saharan Africa’s only state-of-the-art clean cookstove manufacturing facility.

They are extremely proud to employ 250+ team members throughout Kenya and support a workforce which is 60 percent female, thus empowering women in roles traditionally considered to be “for men only".

Since 2013, BURN has sold more than 600,000+ Jikokoa™ stoves in East Africa. These stoves have helped 3,100,000 beneficiaries save $151 million in fuel expenditures and 2.6 million tons of wood while reducing indoor air pollution by 65%.
